A lawn guy? An SO or DH or DS/DD that mows for you?

I hired by little brother to do it because DF works too much to do it and I can't effectively supervise my 3 kids under age 5 while I do it.  Even though my brother mows weekly, it still looks like crap because moles have gone crazy in my yard.  I can't bring myself to actually do it, but I want to start bopping those things with a shovel for jacking up my yard.

You can't watch your kids while you cut the grass.  It is so hard to do, OMG.  Really LAZY, LAZY.  Your DH must be so proud of you.  Get off your ass and cut the grass

 What a cute SweetPea mowing the lawn so glad it's sterotyping it to a man's job.

Yes, a really big back yard  but I love doing the yard work myself. I don't trust anyone else to mow or trim, they would probably cut the flowers or trim too much, lol

We have a pretty big yard, I do the gardening and planting/watering but hire a neighbors kid to do the mowing, he's saving for college so it helps him out.

I am with cnash on this one anon.  So she has three kids under the age of 5.  Her DH is gone.  She obviously can't leave them unsupervised in the house so she has to take them outside with her while she mows the lawn.  Now she is having to mow around three small children which isn't safe and isn't good at all for allergies.  I don't know about her kids allergies and such but I have a 6 year old, a 5 year old and a 1 year old.  I can't leave them unsupervised obviously either.  So they would all have to go out with me and I would have to mow around them.  I have two with asthma and all three have allergies.  How is this a good idea.  Also, my 1 year old has to be watched at all times to make sure he isn't putting stuff in his mouth or wandering off.  How can I do that if I am going back and forth with a lawn mower and trying to watch where I am going with that as well?  It isn't like she is saying she can't wash dishes with her kids there.  There is a huge difference between house work and using a potenially dangerous machine and having kids running around outside while it is being done.
